Hi all,
There's been a lot of interesting in teaching the Ally Skills Workshop
to Wikimedians, especially those with a lot of responsibility for
resolving disputes or moderating users. The Ally Skills Workshop
teaches people with more power and privilege practical everyday ways
of supporting people with less. I taught an Ally Skills Workshop at
the 2015 Wikimania in Mexico City and got a lot of positive response.
I would love to see this workshop be available to more Wikimedians.
In an ideal world, the people teaching this workshop would be
experienced Wikimedians themselves. I'm teaching a train-the-trainers
on Sunday, January 15 in Oakland, California, and would love to see
Wikimedians there:

There's also an online version on January 22.

Thanks for your time,
